US-Backed Yemeni President Ali Abdullah Saleh Blames America and Israel for Uprising Against His Regime…
This is what hundreds of millions of dollars a year buys us.
SANAA, Yemen (AP) — Yemen’s embattled U.S.-backed president accused Washington on Tuesday of instigating protests against his regime, as hundreds of thousands marched in cities across Yemen in the largest rallies yet seeking the longtime ruler’s ouster.
President Ali Abdullah Saleh’s allegations, unprecedented in their harshness, signaled a growing rift with the United States that could hurt a joint campaign against the al-Qaida terror network in Yemen.
Saleh’s comments Tuesday, including charges that the U.S. Embassy in the capital of Sanaa is giving instructions to the protesters, appeared to be part of an attempt to silence the calls for his resignation. Saleh has come under mounting pressure to step down since anti-government protests erupted a month ago.
In Sanaa, tens of thousands rallied near the university, chanting “the people want the downfall of the regime.”
Sheikh Abdul-Majid al-Zindani, considered by the U.S. be linked to the al-Qaida terror network, led noon prayers and warned the government not to use force against demonstrators. “We hail the peaceful revolution of the youths and their legitimate demands and rights,” he said. . . .
However, in a speech to about 500 students and academics at Sanaa University, Saleh appeared to be turning on his ally, claiming the U.S., along with Israel, is behind the protest movement.
“I am going to reveal a secret,” he said. “There is an operations room in Tel Aviv with the aim of destabilizing the Arab world. The operations room is in Tel Aviv and run by the White House,” he said.

Nah, blame the Ghost of Christmas Future in the picture for your troubles sir. It’s not some room in Tel Aviv that’s your problem but the ideology that promotes the way this chick lives her life.
I think the White House is behind the protest what I don’t think is that da Jooooooooos have anything to do with it.. Unless it’s American Jews who work for Obama.
I don’t know how anyone can complain about our Aid to Israel when we’re propping up muslims all over the place.
Do you think for a NY Minute we are going to stop the payroll after this?
Cut off ALL aid to ALL islamic infested countries. Let em go back to humping camels. Oust the communist moslim obaMAO and get drilling going in the U.S. and let the arabs drink their own oil.
Funny how your friends disrespect you after all of the cash you have given them. Just another example of a guy who didn’t know how to run a country and didn’t know when to leave….. with the tens of millions we gave him.
shhhhhhh “I am going to reveal a secret,” he said. “There is an operations room in Tel Aviv with the aim of destabilizing the Arab world. The operations room is in Tel Aviv and run by the White House,” he said.
Well of course it’s them…. Israel wants the Muslim Brotherhood to consolidate their power in the Middle East (because they are such peace loving people), and Our brightest star in the Whitehouse is working hard to make that happen because he has Israel’s interest at heart…… NOT.
